Re: Zel's Fleet Blog...Citroen, Mercedes, Sinclair & AC Model 70
Speaking of things lighting up, this one randomly decided to start working today. https://i.ibb.co/MSCMrR8/IMG-20231102-164039.jpg It's not worked on either of the door switches until today. I like self-healing faults! Having a working heater blower though makes the car a lot more usable outside ju...

For the blower fault look at the fuse box first. The connectors can get hot and "relax", especially if 30mm fuses have been used instead of the correct 32mm. Otherwise the whole heater has to come out, which is a bit of a faff.

Re: Zel's Fleet Blog...Citroen, Mercedes, Sinclair & AC Model 70
I just need to figure out a reliable way of stemming the high pressure jet of fuel that's going to want to escape as soon as I disconnect the inlet side of the pump. Going to investigate if I have any random fittings of the right type as just sticking a hose on there which extends above the height ...

MGBD parts of Wolverhampton do exchange calipers re-sleeved in stainless steel.

Re: Zel's Fleet Blog...Citroen, Mercedes, Sinclair & AC Model 70
I must confess to not being too well up on the subject as my P6 is a 4-pot, I thought the correct tyre size for a V8 is 185/80 x 14. You must have non-standard wheels, so 80 profile tyres are giving an increased rolling radius and are making the speedometer read low. What about 70 profiles? The exce...

Those HIF carbs seem particularly prone to flooding, I experienced the same problem on my 2200SC and on a Princess 2200 I used to own. You might as well do the full overhaul, it's not that expensive and together with a decent quality in-line fuel filter should cure the problem permanently.

Re: Zel's Fleet Blog...Citroen, Mercedes, Sinclair & AC Model 70
The clock was used to switch off-peak tariffs for storage radiators etc. Good piece of kit, it has a spring reserve so it keeps in time if the mains fails. I've had a smart meter for several years and it hasn't caused problems. I find it useful to keep a check on what's switched on and my supplier c...

Re: Is this forum still of use?

Re: Zel's Fleet Blog...Citroen, Mercedes, Sinclair & AC Model 70
Are the door hinge pins adjustable as they are on the P6?
Re: Led bulbs
If you replace the indicator bulbs you should replace the flasher unit with one designed for LEDs, because the flashing rate is determined by the current drawn and the LED bulbs draw far less than the filament bulbs. Similarly, if you replace the warning lights, do not replace the charging warning l...
